Chapter 83 Si Lili: You are not Duoduo, you are older than Duoduo! (13, please subscribe)

Kyoto.

A certain courtyard.

At the eighth level of martial arts, a female official with the rank of third-rank imperial attendant was lecturing Lin Gong.

"Master Lin, His Highness wants to ask you why Si Lili didn't kill him the first time!"

Lin Gong replied, "I never expected that the seven masters who were trying to assassinate Fan Xian would just happen to run into the Shadow Guards!"

"Si Lili was very quick to react. She ran away right after the assassination attempt failed!"

The female official shouted angrily, "Quickly send the strongest expert under your command to silence her. We must not let Si Lili be caught alive by the Inspection Office!"

Lin Gong replied respectfully, "I have already sent two eighth-rank masters to chase Si Lili overnight!"

Upon learning that the assassination attempt on Niulan Street had failed, Li Yunrui immediately informed Zhu Ge and asked Zhu Ge to use the power of the Inspection Institute to capture Si Lili.

As long as Zhuge catches Si Lili, there are countless ways to make Si Lili speechless forever.

But Zhu Ge does not have absolute control over the Inspection Institute. Yan Ruohai, Xuan Jiu and Fan Xian are all unstable factors.

So Li Yunrui took a two-pronged approach and asked Lin Gong to track down Si Lili and silence her. As long as there was no evidence, no one could do anything to the princess.

Li Yunrui still had one final insurance. After all, Si Lili had only met Lin Gong. If Si Lili confessed to Lin Gong, he could just kill Lin Gong directly.

Therefore, Lin Gong is more anxious than Li Yunrui.

This matter was planned extremely carefully, and he didn't even use the guards around him.

Throughout the incident, he directed four Northern Qi assassins and two female swordsmen to carry out the operation.

"Master Attendant, General Fang Daren of the City Patrol Department is also an insider. I don't know how to deal with him."

The female official replied, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Fang. I will take care of it."

After hearing what the female official said, Lin Gong felt relieved. He just had to make Si Lili shut up.

Lin Gong could never have imagined that Si Lili was in a small alley three miles away from the villa.

Si Lili, wearing a pink coarse cloth dress, crawled out from a bamboo basket filled with vegetables.

The two masters sent by Lin Gong were naturally also on the way to track the fake Si Lili in the north.

Si Lili took a sedan chair, pretended to be infected with an infectious disease, and quietly changed horses to leave through the east gate.

Most of the day later, she passed by a small inn on her way to Danzhou.

What she never expected was that two people from the Inspection Bureau actually chased her to the inn, and their martial arts skills were stronger than hers.

There happened to be a small hill nearby called Pijia Hill, and the leader of the bandits in the hill was a spy from Northern Qi.

The manager thought that if they continued to chase like this, they would be caught by the Inspection Bureau sooner or later, so it would be better to lure the two men to the Armor Hill and kill them.

An hour later, in the pavilion under the Armor Hill.

Fan Xian and Zong Zhui ran all the way and saw Si Lili standing in the pavilion waiting from a distance.

The two stopped by the pavilion and began to look at the beauty with this symbol.

Si Lili rarely goes out, and neither Fan Xian nor Zong Zhui have ever seen her.

"Zong Zhui, is she Si Lili?"

Fan Xian had to admit that Si Lili was stunning, much more beautiful than the courtesan Nuowei.

Zong Zhui had never seen Si Lili before. "It must be her. How many women in the world are more beautiful than the Kyoto Oiran?"

Si Lili lowered her head and smiled slightly. Fan Xian and Zong Zhui were both stunned.

"My servant Si Lili greets the two masters of the Inspection Institute."

Hearing this, Zong Zhui slapped his thigh fiercely, "Northern Qi spy Si Lili!"

"Four years ago, you sued Prince Yong for forcibly taking a common woman, and it caused a huge uproar in the city!"

"At the time, some people speculated that you were a spy from Northern Qi, sent specifically to discredit Prince Yong."

"Now it seems that the speculation back then turned out to be the truth!"

Si Lili gave a helpless smile and said, "It's hard to explain anyway, so I'll just take responsibility for this matter."

Fan Xian said, "The girls under your command are very popular. Now that a war is imminent, it is time to gather intelligence."

"At this time, you can't take the initiative to expose yourself and mobilize Cheng Jushu and the assassins to kill me. Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Si Lili chuckled, "So you are the victim of the assassination. You are smart enough to know that you are not important enough for me to take action."

"Then you should think more deeply. If I reveal the mastermind behind this, can I still survive?"

"Even if he is admitted to the Inspection Bureau, is it possible that he will be silenced by someone planted in the Inspection Bureau by the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Hearing this, Fan Xian's heart sank. The person behind this must be a high-ranking official, so what Si Lili said was possible.

At this time, Zong Zhui opened his mouth to assure, "My master is the chief inspector of the Inspection Institute, the first person under the president."

"As long as you tell the truth, he will find a way to save your life!"

Si Lili sneered and said, "If you really have the ability, why did Fan Tisi come alone to catch me!"

Zong Zhui said anxiously, "You only have eyes for Ti Si. Isn't Ti Silang a human being?"

Si Lili laughed sweetly and said, "Everyone in the capital of Nanqing knows that if the official title is added with the word 'Lang', it means a small official who runs errands."

"My life is miserable, but I dare not gamble my life on you. Come out!"

Si Lili clapped her hands, and a group of sixth-rank or higher bandits instantly jumped out from the surrounding woods.

Although Fan Xian and Zong Zhui were both eighth-grade warriors, two fists are no match for four hands, and they really couldn't handle the siege of so many people.

Zong Zhui chuckled, "My master's army will be here soon, don't be so arrogant!"

Seeing Zong Zhui so confident, Fan Xian almost believed it himself, but where were the thousands of troops?
Zong Zhui has been secretly reporting his whereabouts to Chen Pingping. At this moment, the dean should send someone to support him.

Sure enough, at this moment the ground suddenly began to shake, and soon a team of experienced cavalry came charging from a distance.

Zong Zhui watched the black torrent approaching and said excitedly, "Sir, it's the dean's black rider!"

"This is the strongest army in the world that His Majesty the Emperor has specially authorized to protect the dean!"

The black cavalry came and killed all the bandits in a moment, and none of the black cavalry was hurt.

Fan Xian was secretly surprised. Mr. Fei was doing quite well. He even borrowed the dean's Black Knight.

Afterwards, a masked swordsman in a black robe and with a murderous aura appeared in front of Fan Xian and Zong Zhui.

Zong Zhui quickly greeted him and said, "Greetings, Master Shadow!"

Fan Xian said in surprise, "Shadow Swordsman! Number six on the Langya Pavilion Masters List!
The best assassin in the world, the best under the Grandmaster! I actually saw the real person! "

Shadow attaches the most importance to martial arts, and Li Changan's rearranged Langya List is very much to his liking.

So when he heard Fan Xian's words and received the admiration of the young martial arts master, a smile secretly appeared on his face under the shadow mask.

"It's just a false reputation in the martial arts world. I'm a hidden person and don't really care about my reputation."

"Fan Xian, the dean asked me to tell you that you are the presiding judge of the Niulan Street assassination case. Do whatever you want to do boldly."

"Even if the sky falls, the dean can help you hold it back!" Shadow then led the Black Knights and evacuated the Armored Hill.

Si Lili had her hands tied and sat upright on her horse, "Fan Xian, who are you? Chen Pingping actually used the Black Cavalry for you!"

Fan Xian was also wondering whether Chen Pingping's Black Cavalry was the help Fei Jie requested or Chen Pingping's own idea.

However, he had never met Chen Pingping.

"Since you know that Bentis is in a high position of power, then quickly tell me who is behind this. Bentis will definitely save your life."

Fan Xian was not lying. If the Black Knights were willing to help him, there should be no problem for him to save Si Lili's life.

In the end, Si Lili still refused to buy it. "We are still some distance away from Kyoto. If you have the ability, let the Black Cavalry follow us to protect us."

Fan Xian glanced at Zong Zhui, who said truthfully, "The Black Cavalry is deployed very strictly, and they are all secret guards. How can they stay in the open to protect us?"

Fan Xian frowned, "Si Lili knows the mastermind behind this. We still have some distance to travel to Kyoto. The mastermind will definitely send someone to silence us."

Zong Zhui also said, "She is the leader of a group of Northern Qi spies lurking in Kyoto. She has a lot of information about the spies in her head. It is estimated that various government offices will come to snatch her away."

Fan Xian said with a little surprise, "Does the government offices also secretly snatch people away?"

Zong Zhui sighed, "We don't have any arrest warrants. Nominally, Zhuge is in charge of the case, but we two are arresting people privately."

Fan Xian thought about it, and then came up with an idea, "The Black Cavalry made such a big noise just now, I'm afraid we can't hide our whereabouts, so why not do the opposite."

An hour later, Zong Zhui understood what Fan Xian meant by going against the grain.

Fan Xian raised a huge white banner, "Fan Xian from Danzhou has traveled thousands of miles to escort Northern Qi spy Si Lili back to the capital!"

Zong Zhui couldn't help but sigh, "Your Excellency still has many ideas. If anyone comes forward to snatch the person away now, it will be difficult to do it!"

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Let's return to the capital with great fanfare. The more people know about it, the safer we will be."

"Whoever takes action at this time would have to admit that they have something to hide!"

Zong Zhui really admired Fan Xian for abandoning the northern road to chase Si Lili and coming up with such a brilliant plan.

"Your Excellency is not only a master of martial arts, but also a master of wisdom. I admire you very much!"

The two men escorted Si Lili on horseback, walking through the streets with great fanfare, attracting countless onlookers.

"Si Lili, isn't she the brothel girl who sued His Royal Highness Prince Yong four years ago?"

"I said at the time that this woman was not a good person and must be a spy from an enemy country!"

"Yeah, how can a prostitute sue her patron? Do you want to eat this bowl of rice?"

……

However, an accident happened when Fan Xian and Zong Zhui passed by a medium-sized town.

The three men and three horses had just passed through the crowd when suddenly a figure jumped up from the roof of a restaurant.

The figure held an axe in his hand and chopped towards Fan Xian from top to bottom!

Fan Xian only felt a strong wind blowing in his face. The enemy's momentum was much stronger than Cheng Jushu's!
At least ninth-grade strength!
"Lord be careful!"

Zong Zhui was quick to pull Fan Xian off the horse.

"puff!"

After a crisp sound, Fan Xian's horse was easily chopped into two pieces!
Then the figure moved as fast as lightning, and the axe swung quickly, cutting the rope on Si Lili's arm.

The axe turned so fast that even the blood on it was shaken off.

Just as Fan Xian had recovered from his shock, he found himself in front of a woman with a baby face and wearing peasant girl's clothes.

The woman held two axes in her hands. After rescuing Si Lili, she turned around and looked at Fan Xian with a sneer.

Zong Zhui shouted in surprise, "Ninth rank! Haitang Duoduo! Sir, run!"

The axe strike just now had already exposed his strength above the ninth rank. Combined with the opponent's characteristics, Zong Zhui quickly came to a conclusion.

The Inspection Institute has all the information about Haitang Duoduo, the Saintess of Northern Qi.

Emperor Qing wants to deal with this person with a heavenly vein, so the Inspection Institute must of course collect comprehensive information on her.

Fan Xian swallowed, obviously shocked!
"Haitang Duoduo? A ninth-rank master actually dared to run near Daqing Kyoto!"

Zong Zhui hurriedly said, "Sir, stop analyzing. Run quickly. Saving your life is the most important thing!"

"If she wants to save Si Lili, she won't chase us. Let's run!"

The axe-wielding woman jumped onto Si Lili's horse, glanced at Fan Xian and Zong Zhui who were escaping madly using light Kung Fu, and she was quite sensible!
In full view of the crowd, the two women rode on the same horse and galloped away in another direction.

The people in the town witnessed the whole scene!
"That village girl is a master?"

"Didn't you hear? The Saint of Northern Qi came here specifically to save this Si Lili!"

"Haitang Duoduo, you came all this way to save a spy!"

"Qi Gou is really abominable. He actually dared to go deep into the vicinity of Daqing Kyoto. How arrogant!"

The Saint of Northern Qi invaded and took away the secret agent Si Lili!

This is huge news!

Spies in the town released carrier pigeons to bring this earth-shattering news back to Kyoto.

Fan Xian and Zong Zhui fled for dozens of miles and finally felt relieved when they saw that no one was chasing them.

Fan Xian said angrily, "This Haitang Duoduo is so bold that she actually dared to run to the outskirts of Kyoto!"

He paraded around openly, on guard against the mastermind and the various government offices trying to snatch him away, but he never expected that the Northern Qi Dynasty would send such a master to rescue him.

"Zong Zhui, what is Si Lili's background? Is it reasonable for the Saint of Northern Qi to come and rescue her personally?"

Zong Zhui cursed and said, "That's unreasonable!"

"The Inspection Institute reported that after Haitang Duoduo accepted the title of Heavenly Vein Master, she went to Western Qin. How could she be here?"

"Si Lili is just a spy, there's no need for Haitang Duoduo to rescue her!"

"No matter what, I have to send a message to the nearby detectives from the Inspection Bureau and ask Lord Shadow to come and search for Haitang Duoduo!"

Fan Xian was groaning in his heart. He escorted Si Lili with great fanfare, but Si Lili was kidnapped by Northern Qi while he was in control.

This has backfired. The various government offices and Zhuge will tear him to pieces!
"Could this Haitang Duoduo be someone sent by the real culprit to impersonate her?"

Zong Zhui said with a bitter face, "There are only a few ninth-rank masters in the world, and there are no other women except Haitang Duoduo."

"Looking at the figure and appearance of that woman just now, it can't be a man pretending to be her!"

When Fan Xian was in a state of panic, Si Lili was also in a bad mood.

The two women rode on horses, one in front and one behind. The woman behind Si Lili had the axe stuck in her lower back and her body pressed tightly against Si Lili.

As the bumps on the horse became stronger and stronger, Si Lili was certain that this Haitang Duoduo was an imposter!

It should be Li Yunrui's work. He pretended to be Haitang Duoduo to kidnap the person, and then killed her in a place where no one was around!
Si Lili felt bitter and said to the woman behind her, "Girl, you are not Duoduo."

"You are older than Duoduo."
